Bettye, It appears that Frances only married once, and she married William MEANS. There is some confusion as to the names in the records. In the research of Mary Frances SMITH Fisher, she shows Frances Amelia Blackburn married William MARSHALL Means on 8 Mar 1830 Marion Co, MS. Her footnote indicates that the marriage was recorded in Book B, Page 119, as William MARTIN, copy in file. I am assuming that the marriage license was in error, as we know from other facts that Frances was married to William MEANS. I'm not sure what William's proper middle name is now. I always have seen it as ADDISON, but maybe it is actually MARSHALL or even MARTIN. I am going to delete William Martin from my file.
